Bayberry

Bayberry radiates coastal Long Island charm with a modern, convivial energy. Step inside and you’re greeted by sunlight bouncing off whitewashed walls, a sprawling 40-seat bar humming with chatter, and the subtle scent of sea air drifting in from the outdoor patio. It’s the kind of place where locals gather for lively weekend brunches—mimosas clinking over crab cakes and Dutch pancakes—while families mark milestones in private event spaces that feel both elegant and relaxed. The bistro’s menu boasts imaginative takes on American classics, from seafood stacks to tres leches with blueberry gelato, all anchored by a commitment to local catch and seasonal fare. Live music spills into the evening, blending seamlessly with the laughter of friends sharing oysters at happy hour. Here, Islip’s maritime spirit comes alive: Bayberry isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a community anchor—a meeting ground for celebrations big and small, where hospitality feels personal and tradition is honored with a fresh twist.
